Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
I. V. Novikov 1991Translated: [Length of dentary tooth row 14 mm. Teeth are close together. Maximum breadth of molariforms at half of tooth's height. Leghth of ridge at the tip of molariforms (with exception of posteriormost and largest one) is not less than half of tooth's breadth. The a/c ratio is 2.4. Maximum height of dentary is 1.5-fold the height of largest molariform.
